Eddie's Funeral

Johnny and I couldn't go to Tx. for his brother's funeral (J is unable to travel) but was told this morning Eddie was buried with a nine iron, pk. of smokes with a joint, and a beer. The songs were "Spirit in the Sky" and Knocking on Heaven's Door"The older two sisters didn't approve of his burial but if you had known Eddie you would understand. Here's the poem his neighbor wrote for him

You earned your wings...early morning, under a full moon on the first day of Spring. The rest of us wait for the soft breeze when we can hear you. We all know it is you that sings. Make your music with the thunder, we will sing with you.

Your zest for life and fun will be felt with the warmth of each rising sun. The twinkle in your eyes when you laugh, we will see the stars at night when our day is done.

You are loved by many and surely never to be forgotten by any. We will be with you each day, as you are with us..spread your wings and soar. We love you!

Also, I tried to play and set "Spirit in the Sky" on my dizzler but Eddies is playing with me on this rainy gloomy day..this is the only song that I have ever tried that will not play. Maybe later..........
